The Outremer 42 represents a pivotal transition in the history of the legendary French shipyard. Conceived as the final design of Outremer's visionary founder and naval architect, Gérard Danson, the model was introduced in late 2004 to bridge the gap between his early, ultraminimalist designs and the more ergonomically advanced multihulls of the modern era. Following Danson's passing in 2005 and the subsequent acquisition of Atelier Outremer by Grand Large Yachting in 2007, the Outremer 42 continued production until 2012. Unlike the highvolume "floating apartments" built for the mass charter market by competitors like Lagoon and Fountaine Pajot, the Outremer 42 was built as a purist’s voyager. It targeted bluewater cruisers who demand serious windward capability and the safety of speed to outrun weather systems, all while maintaining a highly manageable footprint for shorthanded couples.
